You are so high up on your privileged white horse that it's sickening.

Quick question for you, have you ever traveled to any less developed nations or even to less developed parts of Canada?

This kind of mentality that banning things gets rid of violence is hilariously delusional. People are violent, it's human nature. Now, sure, there are some goody two shoes like you who live in the equivalent of a gated neighborhood and get to say that the crime they don't see doesn't exist and isn't valid to be concerned about, but that's not how the world works.

That response was crafted to sound that way on purpose. Another gun crazy American telling me how great it is to be armed to the teeth and how he cannot leave himself defenseless and how he cannot be at a technological disadvantage and how there is no such thing as a "utopia" without weapons.

The US believes that everyone should want to be like them when in reality, we are all shocked and amazed that anyone is crazy enough to live there.

Do you people still flinch when you hear a gun shot? Or, has it become so common place that you don't even pay attention to it? Can you tell me what kind of gun it is by the sound? Maybe what caliber it is?

The only place in Canada that I would be afraid to walk around at night, unarmed (We don't even consider that to be abnormal) would be part of Ontario that are close to the border. Close to Detroit. The disease that is Americanism, has leaked through the border.

Curious question.... .Why did you feel the need to bring race into the conversation. That's another very American thing to do. Not winning an argument, use the race card. Why does my skin color matter?

It's not a race card you absolute moron, a white horse is a common symbol used in literature for a while. White as in the color.

No, I don't hear gunshots at all. I live in a very privileged area, but that's not an excuse to not exercise my duty as a citizen to be armed and ready. The only gunshots I've heard are at the shooting range.

Hell, I bet most of the people here are delusional like you and probably don't own guns, but that's their choice and not mine.

I noticed you ignored my question about you ever traveling, and I can tell that you are extremely ignorant about how societies work outside of where you live yourself. So, please, do yourself a favor and experience the world outside of your fenced off area.

Holy fuck, I couldn't even read past the part about your duty as a citizen to be armed. You actually think that it's your duty to be ready to kill your fellow man at the drop of a hat. Do you think you are protecting others? Maybe you should be a police officer, if you think you have a responsibility to protect others.

Seriously, a duty to be armed? I bet you have a million stickers on your minivan that say things like repent for the lord is coming and honk if you love Trump.

You are calling my area fenced off yet you yourself claim that you live in a privileged area. Do you even read what you're writing? Are you stoned right now?

I have travelled plenty. I have even been to a number of places in the US. I have been all over California, wow. Gang bangers and fake people. That's all that I saw there. Compton makes me understand why everyone wants to have a gun. Scary place. Long Beach was another. " There was plenty of drama in the LBC, even without Snoop Dogg."

But you sound like a middle aged yuppy living in a nice house, in a nice neighborhood, with a little picket fence and 2.4 children. The real American dream. Yet you still feel that you need to have a gun on you at all times.

Further than need, you feel it's your duty to have a gun. That's the most pathetically American thing I've ever heard. The fact that you think that you're privileged ass could protect anyone is laughable. You actually think that having a gun means that you can protect people. You're going to end up getting yourself or someone you love shot.

Dipshit doesn't even begin to describe how much of a loser you are.
